The Redskins team that won Super Bowl XXVI was one of the greatest teams ever assembled. They're easy to dismiss because of the 'generic' talent, but their domination was undeniable.
Mark Rypien had a career year. A year that he would never again duplicate. There were basically two reasons for his success. He threw the long pass with unparallelled success and accuracy. It seemed every time 'Ryp' aired it out, it flew squarely into the outstreched arms of a receiver in full stride. And he also received the best pocket protection that an NFL quarterback had ever seen or has since seen. Version two of the Hogs allowed an incredible 9 sacks in 18 regular and post season games
I'll always remember a couple of things from the very start of the game. Firstly, I remember them interviewing both Jim Lachey and Bruce Smith before the game. It wasn't anything either of them said, it was that after both interviews, the commentator remarked that he was shocked and to paraphrase him, 'and that it was usually the defensive players that were the intense guys'. Lachey was normally very quiet, but the fire in his eyes that day was unmistakeable.
Secondly, I remember (fondly) the Thurman Thomas helmet fiasco. I knew the Redskins were in good shape when the Bills had to run their first series with Kenneth Davis because Thomas could not find his helmet. It wasn't because of the drop in talent between Thomas and Davis, but because it went hand-in-hand with the interview portion that I'd seen earlier... the Redskins were there to win, the Bills were not.
They say big games often come down to coaching and on that day, Marv Levy was certainly no match for Joe Gibbs.

I've seen Jim Kelly interviewed and he was asked about all the super losses, and he said that the Skins Superbowl in 91 the Bills were
just overmatched and outmuscled on that day.

I remember the "learned" pre-game analysis in Sports Illustrated. Author: some guy named Zimmerman, aka "Dr. Z."
Dr. Z's dead-lock conclusion: Bills would destroy the Redskins.
And of course they did...right???? Could Dr Z ever be wrong?

We should have gone undefeated that year.
